I'm trying to install CDH 5.4.2 on CentOS 6.6 using installation path B with external MySQL databases.   The scm_prepare_database script runs successfully without any warnings and the mysql connector jar is in place.   Here is the output from trying to run "service cloudera-scm-server start" for the first time. It looks like something is happening to prevent CM from actually creating the tables it needs. I've used the same database settings numerous times without any issues for past test installs in this environment.   [root@rdl-hadoop01 cloudera-scm-server]# service cloudera-scm-server start Starting cloudera-scm-server:                              [  OK  ] [root@rdl-hadoop01 cloudera-scm-server]# service cloudera-scm-server status cloudera-scm-server dead but pid file exists [root@rdl-hadoop01 cloudera-scm-server]# cat cloudera-scm-server.log ... 2015-07-08 10:57:02,870 INFO main:com.cloudera.cmon.TimeSeriesEntityType: Registered TimeSeriesEntityType HBASE_INDEXER 2015-07-08 10:57:02,918 INFO main:org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext: Refreshing org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext@70ad2036: startup date [Wed Jul 08 10:57:02 EDT 2015];
